Every time I try to misname the DB Sqlite create a new one with the wrong name ¿What can I do to solve that?

I'm working on the Workspace and every time I try to misname the DB as you did on the video to check the error handling Sqlite creates a new one, I don't know if this has happened to anyone else. I'm having the same issue on my terminal, I think its a Sqlite thing but I don't know why did Hampton managed to make it work.

The point of this exercise to catch an error. Just make a different syntax error e.g.

$db = new PDO('sqliteee:./database.db');

Thanks for the answer Tomasz, I understood the point of the exercise but I couldn't catch the error I think I wasn't misnaming the "sqlite" part. Pretty stupid mistake. Thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks for asking about this. I was going nuts trying to get my connection to fail and couldn't.
